• Applicant must be a permanent resident of Bihar (domicile required).

Income Limit

There is no income limit for the Graduation component of Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana — it is open to eligible girl graduates across all income groups.

Documents Required

1. Graduation Degree / Final Passed Marksheet
2. Aadhaar Card and Aadhaar-seeded Bank Passbook (first page)
3. Domicile Certificate of Bihar
4. Self-declaration of being unmarried (signed by parent/applicant)
5. 10th and 12th marksheets (for detail matching during verification)

MKUY Graduation Incentive Amount

Eligible girl graduates receive a one-time payment of Rs. 50,000, transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the Aadhaar-linked bank account after verification by the university and the Education Department. This is a one-time award for the Graduation stage and does not require annual renewal. Students who already received the Class 10 or Class 12 components of MKUY can separately apply for this Graduation-stage incentive if eligible.

2. Choose the Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana section, then select the Graduation component.
3. Click “Apply / Student Registration.” New users register with mobile number, email ID, and OTP verification; existing users log in directly.
4. Fill in personal details (name exactly as per marksheets), address, educational details (10th, 12th, and Graduation university/college/year/marks), and bank account details (account number, IFSC, bank name).
5. Upload scanned documents — photo, signature, Aadhaar card, all marksheets, and the bank passbook’s first page — as per the size limits specified on the portal.
6. Review all entered details carefully, then submit the form.

Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana Result / Application & Payment Status 2026

Once your application is submitted, you can track both your application status and, after approval, your payment status on the Medhasoft portal. Here’s how:

1. Visit the official portal at medhasoft.bihar.gov.in.
2. Look for the “View Application Status of Student” link under the Graduation/Snatak section, or the Student tab.
3. Enter your registration number and select your university, along with your name as per your marksheet.
4. Complete OTP verification sent to your registered mobile number.
5. Click “Get Status” to view your current application stage.

Your result will typically show one of these stages:

• Waiting for Approval by University — your application hasn’t yet been reviewed by the university.
• Approved — your details matched university records, and your name has been added to the payment list.
• Payment In Process / Disbursed — your application is approved and payment is being processed or has been credited.

If your status is stuck at “Payment In Process” for a long time, first confirm your Aadhaar-DBT seeding at your bank branch, since payments cannot go through without it. If your status is stuck at “Waiting for Approval by University,” follow up with your university’s registrar office directly, as they control this verification step. Once approved, you can also check your name in the district-wise Beneficiary/Payment List published on the portal under Reports.

Example: How Sapna Received Her MKUY Graduation Amount

Sapna Kumari, a graduate from a university in Muzaffarpur, completed her BA in 2025. She applied for the MKUY Graduation component on Medhasoft, uploading her marksheets, Aadhaar card, and bank passbook. A few weeks later, her status showed “Payment In Process.” On checking with her bank, she discovered her Aadhaar wasn’t seeded with her account for DBT. After completing the seeding and finalizing her application, her Rs. 50,000 was credited within about three weeks.
